One gram of your DNA can store 716,800 Gigabytes of data. The total mass of DNA in your body is about 250 grams. This means, your whole DNA can store 179,200,000 Gigabytes of information. On the other hand, your brain can store approximately 2,621,440 Gigabytes of data. Combining the storage capacity of both your DNA and your brain, the total would be 181,821,440 Gigabytes. Although I also included the mass of DNA that makes up your brain cells, the subtraction wouldn’t change much in the final result. To sum it up, your body can store approximately 181,821,440 Gigabytes of information. Titan, which is the world’s most powerful supercomputer, can store 41,943,200 Gigabytes. That’s only 23% of your body’s storage capacity. Your body has a storage capacity that is more powerful than 4 supercomputers combined ;) :)
